2024-06-25 14:42:43 UTC

The main avenue to determine the quality of our badge

Lead by example

bahadiryasa — 2024-06-28 13:48:19 UTC

We shall follow the samples and be enlightened

Sometimes, the task in badge description do not necessarily match the evidences asked to provide (especially for onboarding badges). But it is required in badge Quality document.

2024-06-28 14:03:20 UTC

What are badge quality requirements for microcredentials based badges ?

2024-06-28 14:03:55 UTC

Can the entire project (KA2) be dedicated to badge creating? For example, the result of a project is a badge system, and each badge represents different skill related to project objectives. Or does Open Badge is better suited as a smaller integration, for example, as a part of a Module to keep the interest in learning material?

austeja3 — 2024-06-28 14:27:26 UTC

Should the design of badge be connected with the purpose ( criteria) of it?

2024-06-28 14:31:12 UTC

assonur — 2024-07-10 14:05:34 UTC

Awero — 2025-09-17 14:19:18 UTC

Awero — 2025-09-17 14:20:36 UTC
